fed up,

I agree up to ....
It would make more sense to stop funding the illegal OCCUPATION of Iraq and bushies faux war on terror and bail out America. Fuck Iraq .... after that not so much.

I do not think we need to be there, we need to save our country and put their dumb asses on the back burner.

I was watching the news tonight and I was shocked to see that in the last 2 years in Cleaveland alone there have been 14,000 home foreclosures. This is a serious fuckin preoblem. I don't think Bush can sit back and all of sudden be concerned about spending money FOR FUCKIN' AMERICANS. And anyone who supported this shit war should back spending money on the Americans as well. I mean really, are we gonna act like we are at all concerned about the deficeit now. oh please. Bush hates americans. He hates america.
Did you see his face when they asked him about a recession yesterday? he smiled, with this look like he was goona screw us all one final time before he leaves office. What a shitbag. I hate this fuckin' guy.

Oh -that reminds me, tonight is the season premeire of Bill Maher. :~)

It doesn't make sense to borrow your way out of debt. This is nothing but an attempt to beat Obama in the primaries. Maybe she could shed a few more tears in the process too.

How could this emotionally weak bitch, who let Bill humiliate her and did nothing, expect to become president?

It soinds like a decent idea on the surface but much like her health care plan when Bill was first elected, she will be bought out and nothing will be accomplished.

After the trillion or two that Bush and the Bush Republicans laid on your children and grandchildren, another $100B from Hillary won't be noticed. And Bush has been calling for adding a quarter trillion a year to extend and expand the tax cuts he immediately demanded in 2001.

Remember how the unemployment was way up at 4.5% and the mortgage foreclosure rate in those hard hit areas was heading toward 1%, why it was imperitive to head off depresson with a tax refund delivered in August 2001 for taxes due April 2002.

Now I know that Bush's solution to the problem of typical person paying for oil and food, and that has cut into their retail sales, is to give tax cuts to the dead and the hedgefund managers because they will take the millions they save and buy some yachts and planes and those will employ people who will need to employ other people, and soon everyone will be able to pay to heat their houses and buy food and also buy Christmas presents.

So clearly Hillary's plan to help those people by giving them subsidized oil so they can buy food is a stupid idea. Old people should freeze and die so that their heirs can inherit their millions without paying death taxes.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton on Friday will propose a $70 billion emergency spending package and possibly another $40 billion tax rebate to counter what she sees as a coming recession, according to the New York Times.

"I have been looking at the latest unemployment numbers, and I really think it is imperative that we start to move to help people dealing with the housing market and give the country a jolt of confidence in the economy," the senator from New York told the Times.

Clinton's plan would provide $30 billion for an emergency housing crisis fund for states to help low-income families unable to make mortgage payments; $25 billion to help low-income families pay heating bills this winter; $10 billion to extend unemployment insurance for people unable to find jobs; and $5 billion for alternative energy programs, the Times said.

The $40 billion tax rebate would be enacted later if economic conditions worsen.

The plan was the first specific stimulus package to be proposed by a presidential candidate from either party, the Times said.

Clinton's campaign had announced she would lay out her plans for jump-starting the U.S. economy in California on Friday at 2:15 p.m. EST/1915 GMT.

Clinton told the newspaper she "absolutely" believed it was possible for Democrats in Congress to work with U.S. President George W. Bush to enact a stimulus package early this year. The U.S. presidential election does not come until November and the new president would take over a year from now.

But Bush has said any stimulus he is considering would most likely focus on tax cuts rather than spending, the Times said.

Clinton's emergency spending plan would add to the federal budget deficit and not be offset by tax increases or budget cuts, her campaign told the Times.

A weakening U.S. job market and manufacturing sector downturn last month has raised concerns the economy was near or perhaps already in recession, but U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said on Thursday the Fed saw continued, but slow, growth.

Unemployment rose to 5 percent in data released last Friday.

Trouble is, all these young ones now days dpmt want to hear about the truth. Just want to believe in some fancy sounded words about peace and smoking the weed, and hanging on the grape, cant get seem to get no one under 65 to listen to sense. I'm wondering if I aint lived just too long a time. This woman is just buying votes real crooked and slick like, and lord these people just flocking to her like the fools they must be. I think I will just sit here, and look at her sideways like, and wonder...just when all this going to be stopping.

Dont listen to what anyone from the Federal Reserve says. They re the ones orchestrating this whole collapse of America.

One of two things are certain to happen........Either the dollar will Collapse or our economy will collapse. I predict the Dollar collapsing.
